Reboot Requirement:Reboot is required after installation for updates to take effect and hardware stability to be maintained.

Installation:

To use Smart Update Manager from the Service Pack for ProLiant:

Offline:

Service Pack ProLiant Offline mode boots a special Linux OS environment, thus the Linux Smart Component are used, not the VMware Smart Components

Remote Online, if the component is supported by SUM but is not yet part of an SPP:

Download the appropriate Service Pack for ProLiant

Add the component to the Service Pack for ProLiant

Mount the Service Pack for ProLiant on a remote server running Windows or Linux that has a network connection to the ESXi host to be updated

Run Smart Update Manager via launch_sum.bat for Windows or launch_sum.sh for Linux

Upgrade Requirement:Recommended - HPE recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.

Fixed the following

Transceiver with part number 5700-0077 requires a minimum of 10ms after a write operation before reading it back. But the current Firmware is not waiting long enough, manifests as an intermittently incomplete to connect to Fabric
